My 5305s are for sale 150 shipped.

My escalade rides so much better on my 6 inch drop springs. Just a lot more smoother I knew I should have done this months ago.

due to me having autoride it will not come down the full amount Also the rear doesnt matter on the trucks its the front. Ive done 305 35 24 on a full drop but you will need the spohn upper/lower/panhard bar becuse the tires get sucked to far forward and rub.

Right now I just have to adjust the autoride links the ride is better with my springs and I think I will leave it where its at for now and wear out the tires. Im debating on just replacing the rear belltech kit with my springs since rides a lot smoother. GOing for a ride with 6 people today to the street races at 2pm and everyone besides me is over 225 pounds so ill see hot it does.
